The process flow for Curriculum Design is as follows: Based on Institute/Department vision and mission, and the NBA / AICTE guidelines the department formulates its PSOs. The HOD along with all faculty members frames the outline of the curriculum based on norms of AICTE, UGC, DBATU. The course outcomes of all the courses of the curriculum are planned according to the POs and PSOs. Then, the syllabi of various courses are framed. The feedback of the curriculum is obtained from various stakeholders such as academicians, industrial experts, alumni, parents, faculty and students. The curriculum is presented in Program Assessment Committee and Department Advisory Board and the necessary changes are incorporated. The curriculum is submitted to the Board of Studies (BOS) meeting. There commendations and modifications suggested by BOS members are incorporated in curriculum forwarded to Academic Council. After the approval from Academic Council (AC) and Governing Body, the curriculum is finalized. The curriculum is implemented and the impact will be considered for further implementations .

Did faculty use audio visual aids?           Were notes dictated to you?           Were any assignment given to you?           Were internal test conducted?           Were the assignment and test challenging?           Were they checked promptly?           Were the faculty motivates to conduct experiments or practicals?           Was the faculty given a sufficient chance to do the practical?           Were the journals checked promptly?           Whether faculty was effective in preparing students for exams?           Whether the faculty was always accessible to the students for counselling, guidance and solving queries off the classroom hours.           Were the books referred by faculty available?           Were you satisfied with teaching in general?           Were you satisfied with class discipline in general?           Whether practicals conducted properly?           How do you think teaching could have been made more effective? Descriptive Feedback questions

35. 2.2.2 Quality of internal semester Question papers, Assignments and Evaluation (20) A. Process to ensure quality Every course coordinator prepares question bank according to defined COs for each module. Prepared question paper is guided by department exam coordinator and gives suggestion accordingly. Course coordinator prepares a model answer paper and assesses student answer sheets accordingly. Each question paper consist of different question types such as descriptive, MCQs, design/derivative, drawing, programs and numerical, based on which question paper audit is done. Schedule of internal test are planned in academic calendar before start of semester and executed properly. B. Process to ensure quality of question paper from outcomes/learning perspective Each course coordinator prepares CO-PO mapping for his course using revised Bloom Taxonomy. Exam coordinator suggests correction regarding the use of verb for preparing questions. Each course coordinator conduct question paper audit for internal test as well as university question papers. C. Evidence of COs coverage Question paper for each course consists of questions based on each module gives approximately equal weightage to assigned COs. D. Quality of assignments and relevance to COs At start of semester assignment questions are prepared by course coordinator. Every question in assignment is mapped with course outcome. Self-learning assignments are also prepared by course coordinator to initiate self-learning in student. To ensure quality of self-learning assignment, different topics are given for a batch of students. After completion of assignments oral feedback to the students are given.

36. 2.2.3. Quality of student projects (25)   A. Identification of projects and allocation methodology (3)   A.1 Identification of Projects Department gives flexibility to the students according to their area of interest. The students are encouraged to select industry sponsored project to solve real life problem. Each student asked to go through literature review regarding idea about the project. These project ideas discussed within group and with guide and check feasibility of project. Student prepare synopsis for their topic, which will be reviewed by project evaluation committee and check their quality and originality. After implementation of suggestions project will be finalized. A.2 Allotment of Project Groups and Guides A guide list is displayed according to area of specialization. At the end of V th semester student forms a project group of 3 to 5 students and gives their area of interest & guide preference to project co- ordinator . According to the area of interest and preference given for guide, department allot project batches.

Mapping of POs and PSOs to assessment stages are given as below. Project assessment mapping with POs

39. C. Process for monitoring and evaluation C.1 Process of Project Monitoring : Project work is divided in to two phases, project phase-I and project phase-II. Students are grouped into a team having maximum five members. After approval of project topic by evaluation committee, progress is continuously monitored by guide. The project coordinator and HoD control all monitoring process. C.2 Process of Project Evaluation: Project evaluation will be carried out by internal and external examination. Internal assessment is done by guide and project evaluation committee. External assessment is done by external examiner assigned by Exam department. External assessment will be held at the end of the seventh semester and evaluated by external expert along with project guide according to examination schedule. For semester VII and semester VIII project rubrics are used for evaluation.

40. D. Process to assess individual and team performance (5) D.1 Assessment of Project: Assessment of project will be carried out as per evaluation committee and HoD as per departmental policy. External examiner may use department rubrics or may be by his own method for assessing students. D.2 Assessment of Individual Performance: The project work of individual student is assessed through oral presentation. The individual assessment will be based upon his behavior including enthusiasm, hard work, attentive and disciplined nature. D.3 Assessment of Team Performance : To team performance is assessed by observing behavioral attitude with help of rubrics. Also assessment carried out at the time of oral presentation to judge team performance, coordination among members. To assess team performance project work diary gives information about their contribution in project as a team. E. Quality of completed projects/working prototype Project exhibition is arranged by college for each year. Projects are assessed by project assessing committee and three best projects are selected.One external Judge also included in assessing committee.
